Good morning everyone,
It's that time again - I've just updated the NC Beach Foreclosures list on the website, highlighting all the great real estate deals available right now on our local beaches.

What is the list, you ask?
Twice a month I publish a list of all the best foreclosure properties, short sales, and motivated seller properties in our local beach towns here in southeastern North Carolina, giving you the opportunity to purchase a beach house or condo for below market price. For the past several years,  I've helped clients from Topsail Island to Calabash find their dream beach homes for less than they ever imagined.

I've heard enough! Desiree, where can I see the list?
You can sign up to receive the list here: http://www.desireewhalen.com/beachforeclosures.php
The list is updated every two weeks, and you will receive an email when its updated.

Already signed up?
Check your inbox for the latest list, or log in to my website to view the list online (your username and password were sent to you when you signed up).

Remember, these properties don't stay on the market for long - if you see a property you're interested in and are ready to buy, move quickly! Give me a call or send me an email so we can secure your place here on the beach - I'm here to help!
